OxyContin Addiction
There was a time when OxyContin was considered something of a rare drug in contrast to major prescription drugs like Vicodin. No more. As doctors have grown increasingly comfortable with the drug, millions of prescriptions each year have begun propagating through our healthcare system. With such volume has come an unfortunate problem, however: abuse in on the rise.
Although our national media are often dominated by stories of male OxyContin abuse, this drug has found its way into countless women's medicine cabinets as well. That means there are more addicted females today than ever before-a problem that until recently has been without any adequately focused solutions. The Orchid Recovery Center for Women was designed expressly to address this problem.

Look around the site and you'll notice frequent mention of Dr. Karen Dodge, a luminary in the field of addiction who has written extensively on the subject of women's recovery. Much of her work focuses on something called "relational growth," a set of guidelines that encourages women to draw upon the strength of other woman addicts as they get better. Here at Orchid, relational growth therapy is woven together with other modern approaches such as yoga and trauma groups to create an environment of professional, comprehensive care.
OxyContin is a powerful drug, but there is nothing quite as powerful as the strength of women working in concert. Please don't hesitate to make contact today if you want to learn more about what we do. We are always happy to answer your questions.
